The main part of the bowling for an extra session is done in Fairfield county, but the Bridgeport Farmer thinks that the towns have had better treatment by the railroad commissioners than they could expect from 8 special session of the legislature. The Farmer very sensibly says: In new legis- lature, elected with special reference to the grade crossings, either the whole cost of the grades might possibly be placed upon the roads, or the towns share might be should cred upon the State.

seriously missed by those who have for
years regularly attended these assem-

church in England, emigrAted TO Canada,
in 1882, following his parents, who went
two years before; got in conflict with the
Methodists in Toronto. and became Pro-
gresslst Methodist when Farley P. Pratt
visited that city. In 1886 Taylor and
others were baptized in the Mormon
church by Hill and in 1887 gathered 10
Kirkland, Ohio. In 1888, Joseph Smith

was in hiding from the officers OF the

adopting it he took occasion to deny such

Engineer and Fireman Killed

sid ss soon es the passengers on the ex.
lress could get out, and help arrived from
farmers living near the scene, the work of
rescuiDg the human beings caught in the
wreck was commenced. The fireman on
the express was taken out dead, his body
being terribly mapgled. The engineer on
the same train was still alive but expired
in about half an hour. The engineer on
the freight hao one leg crushed so that it
had to be amputated, but his injuries are
such that his recovery is doubtful. Luck
lily none of the passengers on the express
were injured, althoughbadly shaken up.
AS to WHO is responsible for the misplace
ment of the switch, all is conjecture, and
nothing definite can be learned, but the
matter will be fully investigated by the
authorities. The presumption, however,
is that it was the work of parties not con-
nected with the road. Both engines and
several cars were completely wrecked, and
he loss will amount to thousands of dol
lars.
